Selfless Lucinda

"Why are you acting selfish?" she asked, putting her hand on his desk.

"Who are you to question me? Young lady, you should know your place," he said with his eyebrow lowered and pulled together. She grunted and tried to walk out of the office.

"Stop! I hope you aren’t going to where I think you are going?" He asked

"No, I just want to use the bathroom," she replied.

"You can go. I'll give you approximately five minutes," he said, and she strolled out.

"Stupid woman, who does she think she is wonder woman or what; some things are better off ignored. Ralph muttered to himself and continued going through the files on his desk.

I am definitely going to save those couple. Nobody can stop me, you don’t know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have, but I don’t have a sword or know where Midtown Road is. It seems I have been depending on Ralph to teleport me for a long time now. I close my eyes.

"Husband I need you, I called out." closing my eyes.                               

"What do you need me for?" He asked in a cold tone.

"I need you to teleport me to Midtown Road." I stated bluntly.

"And why should I help you, so you can go risk your life to save those worthless humans." he snarled.

"Are you trying to say you can’t help me?" I ask

"Of course not, I am still angry with you for the last time," he stated through clenched teeth.

"Please help me just this once, and please accept my apologies," I said, but there was no response.

"Please, darling, are you there?" I called out.

"If you think you can call me sweet names to grab my attention, you are just wasting your time," he stated.

"Gosh! No one wants to help." I said and walked back into the office.

"I was just about to call you. What took you so long?" he asked, glancing at his wristwatch. I rolled my eyes at him and strolled to my office to sit down in my seat and put my head down.

"Come and take these files off my desk and review it," he commanded, and I quickly ran to his desk to pack the files without looking at him. I walked to my office with the files and started reviewing them.

                                                              Ralph’s POV

Me and Lucinda walked to the cafeteria and ordered food, we started eating together, Mr Jones walked past us with his food.

"Jones, I need to have a word with you," I said and he looked at me and walked to sit beside me.

"I am sorry for the way I treated you yesterday I was a total jerk." I apologized, and he smirked.

"No it’s okay. I didn’t take it to heart, I know you were just doing the thing that you felt was right in that situation," he said, and Lucinda looked at him.

"I'm sorry if I don’t trust you." I apologized once more.
